- A revolutionary alternative to the Murphy bed, a Lori Wall Bed is a space saving bed/shelving unit in one. Great for apartments, condos, and places where you need the extra room. This is a video of the installation of the bed. Visit www.loriwallbeds.com for more info.
We've had ours for about a year and a half now. The wood pieces that touch each other on the frame and platform when they open and close are getting torn, chipped, and destroyed. The included latches that hold the platform to the frame when the bed is upright have been buckling and one just popped. Thank goodness my kids weren't playing near it.
We bought the plans+hardware kit. Built the bed out of poplar stock and birch plywood. Sanded and stained and assembled myself. It looks nice, it works for guests, and I love having a Murphy bed. I am also proud of having built our queen size myself. Still, after a year and a half of use, my wife and I wish we'd have just gone with a real Murphy bed with proper lowering hardware. This thing takes strength to raise and lower and you've got to have it lined up with the frame perfectly or you'll have to keep raising and lowering and adjusting. It's a workout. After all of the money spent on materials, time invested in building it, and money spent on a mattress, you're better off getting the real thing.
Hi all! I think I've got another comment on here but I'd like to update. I built my own after buying the instructions + hardware kit. The instructions were very detailed and having all of the hardware ready to go was fantastic. In my experienced opinion, this design is fantastic and clever...if you're going to stick with a twin. It looks great when it's put up and it's very nice to have the bed separate from the frame so that you can essentially move it to wherever you'd like to sleep if you want. However, if you're going bigger than a twin, that platform with the mattress on top of it is very heavy and cumbersome.
I built a side-rolling queen frame and platform. Getting the bed to roll down takes careful and steady movement, especially once it passes the crest and starts coming down quickly. I'm in my late 30's, so I'm fine lifting it and lowering it...but my dad in his late 60's would likely throw his back out, even with help (which LoriWallBed recommends with bigger beds). Aside from the lifting and lowering, the biggest frustration is getting the bed lined up perfectly with the frame when it's time to put it back up. Since there's no folding hardware, you've got to line it up perfectly...but you can't see how everything lines up mid-lift. I've used the bed countless times and not once have I gotten it lifted into place perfectly on the first try. That's not only been a strain on my legs and back (from lowering and lifting repeatedly), it also marks up & gouges the wood of the frame and of the platform.
Lastly, though it's relatively easy to move the frame to a different location while the bed is down, you have to make sure that the floor is perfectly level or the bed platform won't sit into the frame...since there's no hardware attaching the two. Our bed is in our basement. The original place we had the bed had level flooring on both sides. We've decided to move it, though, because it was (believe it or not) too in the way for our layout. Now that we've put the frame in the perfect spot regarding our living layout, it's become a real headache...because the floor isn't level. We've leveled the frame...but are now trying to MacGyver a support for the bed platform to sit on so that it's level with the frame and will actually fold into it. Even then, though, we'd have to actually lift the whole platform while the bed is *upright* in order to get it to sit onto the support lip that we're fashioning. We'll need to create some type of ramp for it to roll up with.
At the end of the day, though we're happy with the way it looks, it took me a very long time to shop for the wood, make all of the cuts, sand every single board, stain every single board, and assemble it. If you don't mind having a bare-board Murphy bed, sure, you can probably buy the wood and get it together in far less time than I did. Still, after the cost of the wood and a good mattress, we ended up spending well over $1200. For that or a little more, we could have bought a regular Murphy bed and saved a lot of time.
The Lori Wall Bed is a cleverly designed bed that any DIYer would enjoy building, as I did. The company seems to work very hard to make it as easy as possible for their customers. I think that's awesome. I just caution folks that might think it's a more cost-effective option. Do your research and really try to decide how much work and effort you want to put into lifting and lowering the bed if you're going for something bigger than a twin. This thing is not for older folks and can be a tipping hazard for those with little ones (the latches that hold it in place in the frame use small screws that are to be driven into the end grain of plywood, which will no doubt weaken over time).
Thanks for in-depth report. Very useful and informative.
Do you still have the instructions?
Its great to have something like this! I can have the bed when needed and if not needed, I have a space to do my dancing or do work out ! Good idea for a small condo in the city!
I like how magically the Lamp disappears at 3:45 , just before you get back to fold the bed back up.
I just discovered the Lori Wall Bed, bought a plan for the vertical queen sized bed, and am super pumped to start making one this month!
Also... Three years ago, I guess you can't reply to really old entries anymore: But hey J0EReally: newsflash, the designer and builder of Lori Beds isn't the dude: It's Lori Moore, and it looks like she is the woman doing pushups in the video. But cute attempt at the sexist notion that they mens builds the things, the womens do not.
Do you still have the instructions?
I am very happy to see the vidoe after you give this A revolutionary alternative to the Murphy bed, a Lori Wall Bed is a space saving bed/shelving unit in one.
You should install an led light kit into the bed frame so you dont have to move the lamp.
I like the bed. Practically speaking, if the concern about hitting my head on the shelf is solved by folding the shelf up then what am I doing with my reading lamp (and alarm clock)?
I'm not going to throw my pillow off-screen, where will I store my pillow? Have you considered some extra storage? Ultimately if we have a wall bed to deal with a small space we still need to have a closet, dressing table and a chair. Another video with more detail would sell the idea even better. Thanks for this 1.
this is such a funny premise for the vid. good job.
LOL these people are funny! I really enjoyed watching the video, especially when the blond girl did the push ups!!
I like this revolutionary idea.
Awesome! You ladies make it look so easy!

I've been to your website! I give you guys/gals a A plus with an apple lol I am saving up plus referring you around. . . this is truly revolutionary!!!
Damn this company came a looooong way god bless!!
Those ladies were so hilarious!!!!! The woman in the glasses had me LMAO!!!
Best Slogan EVER!
$80 perfect price point for a wall bed :o definitely picking this up!!!
That's just for the plans and hardware. You shop for and buy the wood, do the cutting, and the assembly yourself. That also doesn't include the cost of a mattress.
There's always going out to the forest chopping down a few trees, mill them into boards, and then dimension and cut to size. When all that's done assemble, stain, seal the wood, and enjoy. Or save your time and anger and buy their flat pack bed kit.
I love the push ups at 1:08. At-a-girl.
Very entertaining video , well done!
I like when she fell on the one hand push up
@VinceVetter not at all i didnt say its abad one just that it would fit my needs since i want one for everyday used
Uts a great content thanks for sharing
cool. 😂 love how she still has time to do push ups
She would kick my ass. I can't do that many.
She would kick my ass. I can't do that many.
great product - if you buy one we'll build it for you!
"Lori Wall Bed. We make the bed, you die in it" really creep me out... it sounds like an evil twin voice in one of those horror movies... I meant "you lie in it"... lol.🤣🤣🤣 damn you, autocorrect!!
Can They Make An Eternity Bed ? That Would Be Awesome!!!
I have a question: I noticed there is nothing holding the mattress when you lifted the bed, how does the mattress stay in place? Also, is there anything connecting the bed to the wall part (cabinet)?
I am seriously thinking about buying one of your beds...! :-)
If you buy the kit it has a strap across the middle holding the mattress in place.
very very very good idea
Oi,Bom Dia sou da cidade de Várzea Grande - MT Brasil NÃO sei nada em inglês e procurando um recurso para resolver o meu problema encontrei vocês muito obrigado Amei, Amei. Eu não entendo nada de marcenaria e quero executar (Fazer) é possível passar o material usado e medida Obrigado Syrlene
great video. hahaha i was on the edge of my seat waiting to laugh
WOW...it's just like Charles In Charge!
Nice job Lori, although your pop and lock needs some work, or was that the robot?
I'm going to steal the video and put it up on our 'Rock Tube'...let's get viral, yeah?
is there a slower version of this with measurements?
@doctorsound People with poor circulation. Their feet are ALWAYS cold.
He sleeps with socks on?
We ALL know what Kevin's thinkin'!

how isnt this a murphy bed?
it's heavy heavy heavy!!!
Very corny, but I loved it!!!!Please keep it up :-)
nahh ill miss out on it. dont like the new description where you have to do push ups and robot moves along with building the whole thing by myself.
Are the boards in your video run through a jointer and planer?
PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN BACKGROUND MUSIC!!!
are you doing the robot?
Any url ending in ".ASIA" probably isn't great news....
How does is the bed attached to the frame?
+Green Kitty what
+Green Kitty it clearly doesn't and sits free of the wall frame. I think the back ledge is high to have a slight angle to the unit when tipped up. this seems like it'll be heavy with unassisted especially with a memory foam matress
,
where can I buy one?
Bonjour
Sa aurais été bien de données les dimensions dommage
D= WDF
Hi do you sell this in europe?
Ok
а где шарнирное основание и как закрепляется сверху в сложенном состоянии?
Thats great and all, but who wants a giant box looking shelf towering over everything in the room?
It could be made to suit by blending in the background color. (whit, black..whatever)
thanks for the vid. I would buy one but I can't so i'll to the net best thing. Watch it on youtube!!!
jokes...
I'ma build one ya'll, with wood i gots already.
Are you interested in building Lori Wall Beds for a living??? Well, are you? Maybe you'd like to make me an offer on my business. I'll even continue to be your spokesmodel ;) I'll be looking to sell Lori Wall Beds and nurture my successor during the Spring of 2015. Get your offers ready!
hahaha that was sooo funny!!
nah, it's ok. the ending's a bid cheesy though.
wtf 2:05 XDXDXD like for this
The ending was bad and you should feel bad)
Lmao
Who sleeps with their socks on?
this is the cheesiest commercial ever!!!
extremely hot!
It's nice to see women working for a change. Terrible acting
guess who isn't getting much sex...

+Tyler May obviously, hence the price. this is for people with a smaller budget
+Nia Sweetz ok
